If you’re having audio issues with your Roku speakers, this can be a big headache. Issues such as no sound or muddled sound can impact your enjoyment. But don’t worry because we’ve got all the answers you need to reset your Roku speakers and bring them back on track.
How Can I Reset My Roku Speakers
To reset your Roku speakers, you’ll need to disconnect your speakers then perform a factory reset to return all audio settings to their original state. You can reset your speakers on your Roku device, Roku TV, or via the reset button on your Roku speakers.
How To Factory Reset
Roku Device or TV
- First, press the home button on your Roku remote.
- Next, scroll down and select the “Settings” option.
- Select the “Remotes & devices” option to open the menu.
- Select “Audio devices.”
- Search for your “Wireless Speaker” and select the device you want to reset. You can also view information such as the software version and serial number for each speaker, plus options to reset the speaker’s sound settings or perform a factory reset.
- Select the “Factory reset” option and enter the code provided to confirm this action.
If your speakers don’t show up on the list, follow these steps:
- Disconnect each speaker’s power cable.
- Move your speakers closer to your Roku TV
- Power on the speakers and see if they show up.
If the speakers don’t show, then move on to the next step, using the reset button to reset each speaker.
Reset Button
There’s also a reset button located on the back of any Roku wireless audio device. On your Roku wireless speakers, this button can be found just below the status LED and Pair button.
- Press the reset button firmly for at least 10 seconds.
- The status LED light will go dark briefly then begin to flash.
- After a moment, you should hear the pairing instructions.
Troubleshooting Tips
Check the Audio Format of What You Want to Watch
Sometimes the title you’re trying to watch doesn’t support surround sound. When you are using the internal streaming player of a Roku TV, this information is usually shown in the content itself. You’ll see messages like “Dolby Surround” and “Dolby Digital Plus 5.1,” indicating that the program allows for these specific sound settings.
For external content, such as a TV show or Bluray movie, you will have to check your Roku TV’s digital audio output setting and make sure it’s set to Auto. Also, you’ll need to check the external device (such as the Bluray player) to ensure it supports your surround sound system.
The Roku remote also allows you to change the Expanded Stereo sound setting by pressing the * button. Once pressed, you’re presented with the following choices.
- Movies and TV – This takes stereo sound and simulates surround sound.
- Music – This setting uses all your speakers to create surround sound
- Off – This setting plays stereo sound only from your TV’s front speakers

If you start hearing audio echoes while listening through your Roku speakers, there is probably a delay between the audio source and your speakers. Use the following steps to resolve the echo issue.
- Remove the power cable, plug it back into the speaker, or press the reset button on the speaker.
- After at least a minute, the speaker should automatically reconnect to your Roku host device.

Repeat the same steps for the right speaker.
